Photography was always an outlet for Anja Schutz. When she found her father’s Nikon, it was instant attraction and she switched most of her high school classes just to be in the darkroom. At 18, Anja moved to N.Y.C. to attend the Hallmark Institute of Photography. After graduation, she continued her education in design and worked freelance for ten years before finding her way back to Massachusetts.

Today, Anja is a graphic designer for Dr. Hauschka Skin Care and co-owns a bar with her husband called The Rendezvous. In her free time, she pursues her own artistic ideas including photography, which is currently on display at The Rendezvous (pictured).
